It's a Tourist Trap

Postby Clipper » Fri Feb 04, 2005 7:12 am

Good Morning ladies and gentlemen(in spanish of course). Welcome to Air Argentina flight 787 (not that e thing again). We will be leaving for Brazil in a moment(o)
please fasten your seatbelts and switch off your laptop sims.....Before we can all leave to visit Falcon_ctba, you've got to pick off the picture in this series that doesn't conform with the others. When you do identify it, you can find 3 mistakes. Which pic, what mistakes?

It seems to be Nr. 3, because on Nr. 1 and 2, the runway numbers are 29, and on the third it is Nr. X7, I can

Not a bad start Mr.Mugel :) You're partially right. 1)yes it's picture #3.........2) yes it is the only shot with the plane's speed brake on..3) yes it is runway 17, different from the other shots. But there's one more distinct difference in shot 3 from the others! What could it be???

Homer..you have to find out what's different in pic#3 compared to all the other pics. I'll give you all a hint...
If you "set" the "numbers" right, you'll "run" into the answer! :)

You're on a completely different runway in shot three.

The Runway on Number 3 is much smaller than the other one.


I told that, too. the runway on #3 is too small, the other ones are much wider.

your speed brakes/spoilers are up in 3 suggesting your landing(unlikely due to the lack of flaps) or you did it for the point to be found.

I think it's Pt Stanley in the Falkland Islands. It's not just a mistake it's an "overshoot". Sorry for the bad sense of humor

Triple 7 you're right on! If you notice the plane in the "wrong" picture is on runway 17. As most of us know, the runway number designates the degrees the runway is positioned.  On runway 17, at 170 degrees, or due south, the sun's reflection on the plane indicates the sun is in the west , or at dusk. All other screenshots are taken at sunrise. Mucho Bravo!! :) That completes the "It's a tourist trap" quizz.

lol...I wasnt even going by the degrees and such...I noticed more of the reflection colors...I know that in the FS mornings they are more white and then in the evening they have more of a yellow glow.  I would have never gotten the whole degrees thing...thanks for pointing that out ;)
